As Hillary readies her second presidential campaign, she has added consumer marketing specialists onto her team of trusted political advisers.

Is Hillary Rodham Clinton a McDonald’s Big Mac or a Chipotle burrito bowl? A can of Bud or a bottle of Blue Moon? JCPenney or J. Crew?

Their job is to help imagine Hillary 5.0 — the rebranding of a first lady turned senator turned failed presidential candidate turned secretary of state turned likely 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

In politics, authenticity can be a powerful trait, and it is one that sometimes has escaped Clinton.

In her 2008 presidential campaign, despite some raw displays of emotion, she often came across as overly programmed.

How will her marketing experts deal with her age. She will be nearly 70 when she takes office if she is elected.

Can heavy makeup and favorable lighting make her look younger during public appearances?

Critics of President Obama’s “net neutrality” plan call it ObamaCare for the Internet.That’s unfair to ObamaCare.

Both ObamaCare and “Obamanet” submit huge industries to complex regulations. Their supporters say the new rules had to be passed before anyone could read them. But at least ObamaCare claimed it would solve long-standing problems.

Obamanet promises to fix an Internet that isn’t broken.

According to a Wall Street Journal report the permissionless Internet, which allows anyone to introduce a website, app or device without government review, ends this week. On Thursday the three Democrats among the five commissioners on the Federal Communications Commission will vote to regulate the Internet under rules written for monopoly utilities.

The next step will be to tax Internet use. It’s a way the feds can gain more control and raise taxes at the same time.

Obama once said, "My Muslim faith" while talking to George Stephanopoulos in the video above.

You don´t make slips of the tongue like that if you´re a real Christian. Can you imagine any Christian "misspeaking" by saying, "My Muslim faith"? It really can´t happen unless you are a Muslim,lying about being a Christian.

The federal committee responsible for nutrition guidelines is calling for the adoption of “plant-based” diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) released its far-reaching 571-page report of recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Thursday, which detailed its plans to “transform the food system.”
